I am Dan O’Neil— technology executive, board member, and creative. I focus on methods for listening to people so we can solve our common problems and make everything better.

I’ve developed products, won awards, published books, and worked on deals. I’ve maintained a number of blogs, published tens of thousands of photos, and developed a practice around ethnographic management consulting.

Over my career, I’ve helped pioneer the fields of hyperlocal journalism, open data, open government, tech philanthropy, community technology, civic tech, user experience research, and government technology.

I’m proud of my recent work leading Civic Elevator, maker of software for elevator servicers, helping build govtech leader Ad Hoc, and running Smart Chicago, where I helped invent programs in community technology.
